R: how to visualize categorical data?

What is the largest scale of network data that people can visualize at current stage?

  • I know that visualizing a network with about 1000 nodes is quite easy using softwares such as Gephi or igraph. I also know that there is an upper limit of number of nodes that people would no longer see the nodes and connections clearly. What is this upper limit? Are there better ways to visualize those network data?

  • Answer:

    A typical screen contains around  a million pixels, so, unless you do cool zooming tricks like http://internet-map.net/, a million is the upper limit on the number of nodes you'll be able to see on your screen.
